Regarding suspend: suspend [-f] Suspend the execution of this shell until it receives a SIGCONT signal. The `-f' if specified says not to complain about this being a login shell if it is; just suspend anyway.
My problem is often in an e.g., xterm window I suspend by accident, forgetting that this is the lowest layer I have made for myself today, with the only cure being to find the PID number of that shell and send it a kill -18 from an other window. Therefore perhaps extend protection to those kind of windows too, not just login shells. screen(1) detects this if one trys to do it in a screen window. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
